fontgen

A utility to generate font atlas images and metadata

Why?

• FreeType generates really nice looking text.
• Nobody likes to depend on large, unsafe C libraries when programming in Rust! This utility uses FreeType to pre-generate a font atlas for your app so it remains C-dependency-free!

How?

• cargo install fontgen
• Read the documentation of fontgen-export to create a spec file in JSON.
• Use fontgen to create an atlas image and associated metadata. (fontgen ./path-to-spec.json -o out)
• Add fontgen-export = "*" to your Cargo.toml to share the metadata types used by fontgen.
